The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) published a new call for proposals under the Creative Europe Programme "Support for refugee integration” (EACEA 12/2016).

Projects with the following priorities are eligible for funding:

• Help refugees socialise and express themselves without necessarily speaking immediately the host country language.
• Learning platforms in a wider sense, fostering respect and understanding for diversity, intercultural and civic competencies, democratic values and citizenship.
• Give EU citizens the opportunity to discover, learn from and understand the values and cultures of refugees and - in the process rediscover and enrich their own.
• Support the showcasing and co-creation of cultural and/or audiovisual works across Europe.
• Offer the possibility of collaboration with organisations in other sectors in order to stimulate a more comprehensive, rapid, effective and long-term response to this global challenge.

Projects are transnational and involve at least three organisations from at least two participating countries.

The project duration should not exceed 24 months. Project grants can be up to 80% of total eligible (direct) project costs. Project grant requests are between 100 000 and 200 000 EUR per project. 8-12 projects are to be selected under this call.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 28 April 2016.
